90 Days of Kindness – Day 84

I ran across this quote tonight and thought I would share it with you.  I believe it captures what kindness is all about and why we kindness challenges here at idontstink.com.  It is from Amelia Earhart and is worth thinking about: “No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 82

What am I grateful for?  Well, that one is easy!  Today marks my 24th wedding anniversary with my awesomely, beautiful wife!  She has been my inspiration, my joy, my happiness, my teacher, my love and my soulmate.  I am so grateful to have met her and I know for a fact that I would not be who I am today […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 77

I had an interesting thing happen today.  I actually started Christmas shopping this afternoon (I normally do ALL my shopping on Christmas Eve with my sister).  I tell you, it really was making me feel good.  I was able to find some awesome gifts at unbelievable savings.  After that, I noticed several nice things done for me.  On two occasions I had a nice […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 72

This morning I did something fun for a change.  After working out, my eye caught the basketball gym.  The same thing happened yesterday but I ignored it.  This time though, I went in and picked up a basketball.  I played for a good 20 minutes.  In the process, I won 3 game 7’s of the […]

Two Thumbs

This morning I was sitting in the steam bath after working out.  I had my hands together kind of like a prayer position where my two thumbs were touching each other.  My first reaction was to see that these thumbs are identical but upon further examination I noticed they were not.  It got me thinking… Even […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 70

Answer this:  Is doing something you do not want to do for someone else a kind deed?  Or, is it something unkind you do for yourself?  Hmmmmm. As I pondered this question I didn’t know the answer at first.  I can do something kind for someone else but if it is at my own expense, it […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 67

Yesterday I decided that I would go through my closet and donate a lot of my clothes to Goodwill.  It is kind of funny how you can get attached to some of your clothes.  I decided that I was going to clear out a good part of my wardrobe regardless how I felt about them.  […]

90 Days of Kindness – Day 64

Tonight my wife and I went elf shopping for Hugs and Hope for Sick Children.  I have to say that it was a little difficult for me.  I felt a lump in my throat the entire time.  Not knowing if this child would see another Christmas or not.  We picked out some pretty cool stuff […]
